We are in a golden age of rethinking classical yoga. I love this, as I believe yoga was never meant to be stagnant. As physiology and movement science make their way into our shalas, we can better meet the goal of a lifelong practice. But, let’s make no mistake, it’s all yoga. For years, I […]

As yoga teachers we need stability more than we need flexibility in our yoga practices and in our yoga businesses. One of the aims of yoga practice is to cultivate balance. Asana practices that focus solely on building flexibility, without regard for strength and stability, risk creating joint instability over time. Beyond asana, we need […]

If your yoga business relies on in-person teachings, you already know that managing your schedule can be a challenge! Juggling multiple clients, a variety of services, email reminders, and rescheduling requests—it can be a lot to keep up with, whether you teach private sessions or own a studio! Enter online scheduling software. Sleek, secure and […]

Ever wonder how Google ranks its search results? Or wish that your site popped up on the first page of these results? SEO is the art and science of getting found online and it depends on two main factors: the relevance of your site’s content to a particular search and the authority rating search engines […]

I read so many books and articles about how to keep a midlife student safe that I’m ready to barf. Of course, we need to be safe. I’m not advocating that we do something crazy and hurt ourselves. But what a midlife person often needs has little do with gentle stretching. For starters, more than […]

When Elena Brower shared her thoughts about creating prosperity, I watched it a few times and took copious notes. I also reflected on my own relationship with money. Abundance is something I’ve written about before here (Creating Mindful Abundance), but I thought I would take it one step farther and delve into how to create […]

Working out can sometimes get a bad rap. Muscle bound, sculpted bodies adorning a health club can be a bit intimidating. In their body hugging outfits with ripped physique. I was one of these folks. Not to say there is anything wrong with that. As long as you are at peace. But I wasn’t. For […]

My intention behind producing these Colouring Yin cards all started with my own home yoga practice. I discovered Yin Yoga as a way to cope with a chronic pain condition. Slowing down and holding these poses for a few minutes a day provided me with relief from the pain and basically introduced me to the […]

I’ve just emerged from running the first TTC at Yoga Beach House as the lead trainer, an experience that has plunged me deeper into my yogic lifestyle and transformed the lives of 8 other yogis. For a few years I asked myself the question should I run a TTC, as I started to have a […]

Yoga is for everyone, and everyone can benefit from yoga. So yoga should be financially accessible for students. But financial stability (pardon the pun) is a must for the teachers as well as the students. When I first decided to complete a Yoga Teacher Training course I was convinced that I would never teach yoga; […]

Gearing up to lead your first yoga retreat? It’s an exciting process, but sometimes also an intimidating one. Luckily, there’s lots to learn from the seasoned retreat leaders who’ve trod this path before. We’ve gathered six experienced, knowledgeable yoga teachers to share some things they wish someone had told them before they held their first […]

Yoga found me when I was working 14-hour days in finance and muting my creative voice in exchange for a six-figure salary with two weeks vacation a year. After work, I was binge drinking and dancing on tables in NYC’s most glamorous night clubs. I was fiercely out of control and afraid of the woman […]

I never intended to be an entrepreneur or to start a small business. I’ve worked on social and environmental justice issues for most of my life – finding my calling at a young age at the intersection of climate change and human rights. It was so fulfilling, so all-encompassing, but also deeply disturbing to be […]

From Elena: This was my year to get my financial situation organized, and of course the Universe handed me many resources and informative humans to help. Paige McKechnie came to me from one of my dear teammates at dōTERRA, and upon hearing of her level of expertise, I asked her three key questions – and […]

Your healing modality isn’t what heals people: what heals people is your energy. Your energy field changes people, your light draws them in, your souls have sacred contracts and your hearts magnetize. For this we can can rejoice. This means we can stop worrying about what we say, what we look like, what we do. […]

Last week in Virginia, I had the pleasure of speaking to a group of female solo entrepreneurs about mindful abundance. To some, mindful abundance may seem like an oxymoron. But if you are self- employed, thoughts of abundance have crossed your radar. As an independent contractor, there is a strong likelihood that you’ve made some […]

It’s no secret that when you decided to become a yoga teacher, there were whispers every which way telling you you that you’ll never make enough money, you’ll always need a second job and that this choice will never be sustainable as a full time gig. For some of us, it can be tricky to […]

Whichever you choose make sure to […]

From the Teach.Yoga Spring 2016 Session: On Abundance A true pleasure to talk to one of my heroes, Kate Northrup, author of Money, A Love Story. She and I had a down to earth chat about our experience with network marketing; she’s with Usana, I’m with dōTERRA. Both of us have spent years building our […]

Dad, yoga student, yoga teacher, dear friend for almost 2 decades, Eric Stoneberg managed to emerge from one […]

Business is THE most powerful force for change in the world. Period. There is no other force that has made a bigger impact on the course of history, our planet, and the human condition. And nearly every day I hear somebody – sometimes me – vilifying business. What do we do with this behemoth power? […]
